Introduction
In Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations (D365 FO), posting layers refer to different levels in the general ledger used to categorize and report financial amounts. There are three main types of posting layers:
Current: Used for regular accounting purposes, capturing transactions that contribute to the periodic financial statements.
Tax: Specifically designed for tax-related depreciation entries, ensuring compliance with tax regulations.
Operations: Another layer for standard accounting entries, typically used to record day-to-day operational transactions.
The concept of posting layers allows for a structured and organized representation of financial data in the general ledger. It enables businesses to segregate transactions based on their nature and purpose, facilitating accurate financial reporting and compliance with different accounting standards.
